As the adage about trash and treasure goes, this dude literally found this rust-covered meat cleaver in the trash and decided to restore it to what I'm sure is more than its former glory. If you look in these up-close "before" photos you'll see that the rust is so thick it looks almost like soft moss. Not so by the end...

You'll need at least some vinegar or a grinder/sander to get to work on the blade and taking care of the handle itself is easy enough. Take a look at the gorgeous finished product below, read up on the full Instructable, and enjoy the entire process video too!
